Mohali Accelerates Toward Becoming North India’s Next IT & Innovation Capital
Mohali is witnessing an unprecedented surge in large-scale investments, firmly positioning the district as North India’s next major IT and services powerhouse. With rapid inflows across IT, GCCs, data centres, healthcare and retail, the region is undergoing a transformation backed by policy reforms, future-ready infrastructure, and investor confidence driven by Invest Punjab.
The city’s growth momentum is anchored by marquee projects such as the Rs 285.5-crore Infosys expansion, the Rs 2,000-crore Phoenix Mall by Casper Realty, and the Rs 1,000-crore Fortis Hospital upgrade. Complementing these are the upcoming Satyam Data Centre, Everise’s 2,000-employee GCC and the expansion of CDIL Semiconductor, further strengthening Punjab’s ESDM landscape.

A major catalyst in this surge is the new 140- acre Jhanjheri Industrial Focal Point, which will provide modern industrial plots, core utilities, and plug-and-play infrastructure to address Mohali’s land shortage and support diversified growth across manufacturing and services. With roadshows across India attracting global stakeholders, the region is fast emerging as the preferred destination for IT, electronics, cloud, and retail giants.
The government has redefined Mohali’s development framework through the Unified Building Bylaws 2025, higher FAR norms, simplified approvals and assured 45-day fast- track clearances via Invest Punjab. These reforms align Mohali’s urban standards with global innovation hubs such as Singapore and Hong Kong, setting the stage for high-density commercial, residential and tech-enabled expansion.
Backed by a massive infrastructure overhaul— new trunk roads, enhanced power capacity, improved airport connectivity and the redesign of Mohali IT City—the district is gearing up to deliver a world-class ecosystem. With Rs 1.23 lakh crore investment proposals flowing into Punjab since 2022, Mohali stands at the epicentre of the state’s evolution from an agrarian economy to a digital, service-driven global growth centre.
